“I came home to share with my wife one of the five best days of my life, and she tells me that she doesn't want to live with me anymore! Do you know what she's done?”

“Yes, she loused up one of the five best days of your life.”  Kramer vs. Kramer tells the story of Ted and Joanna Kramer, and their son Billy.  After Joanna leaves the family, Ted and Billy are forced to adjust, but when Joanna returns 18 months later and sues for custody, the real trial begins.  

Does Kramer vs. Kramer still matter, or has legal precedent and social standards passed it by?  Find out this week on Cinema Cemetery.

“I don't want to move to a city where the only cultural advantage is being able to make a right turn on a red light”.  Welcome to Annie Hall and the world according to Woody Allen.  Part comedy, part romance, part tragedy, part animated film, and all neurosis, this classic film reimagines what a comedy can be.  Starring Diane Keaton as the eponymous Annie Hall, and Woody Allen as Alvie Singer, this film works as an autopsy of a romance, and perhaps a city, that’s time has passed.  Has the world moved on since 1977, or would Alvie Singer still be in analysis even today?  Find out this week on Cinema Cemetery.

“I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse.” The year is 1945.  Fresh off an Allied victory in the Second World War, a young Michael Corleone returns home for his sister’s wedding.  Here, he finds the “family business” is still alive, and well as friends and enemies alike line up to meet with the eponymous Godfather.  Things, however, are about to take a turn as the Five Families struggle to deal with the incoming narcotics industry encroaching on their city. After a failed assassination attempt on Vito Corleone, Michael and “the family” must decide their next moves carefully… 

 This 1972 classic needs little introduction but does it still stand as one of the best of all time.  Starring Al Pacino, James Caan, Robert Duvall, and Marlon Brando, The Godfather tells the tale of war, politics, mystery, and gangsters in an uncertain time.  Should you leave the gun, or take the cannoli?  Find out now!

“Just answer me this: Do you…still pick your feet in Poughkeepsie?” A valid question and concern asked repeatedly by the one and only Popeye Doyle.  This unconventional cop with a great intuition…at least most of the time…follows his next big lead as he tracks down a big drug deal in the making.  With the support of his partner, and the begrudging help of his superiors, Popeye played by Gene Hackman shows the true success and drudgery of early 70s New York police work, along with one of the most thrilling car chases captured on camera.  Will Popeye get his man, or will that subway car slip away?  Check out Cinema Cemetery for the answer!

“No bastard ever won a war dying for his country.  He won it by making some other poor bastards die for his country”.  Meet General George Patton; three-star general and five-star loose canon on a mission to not only win the war but battle as much as possible.  A skilled military tactician, but a without a shred of political skill, Patton’s complex characteristics were both invaluable and disastrous to the Allied forces.  This war epic follows the final years of World War 2 from Patton’s perspective.  Will military victory be enough to satisfy Patton…or the viewer?  Find out this week on Cinema Cemetery!
